2. i was really making fun of the guy defending the school policy, not making fun of the police
Bovine scat.
"Bovine scat."
huh?
i don't think police in illinois or anywhere else are bothering to go out and arrest people for "look-alike drugs". the fact that a bad law is on the books does not mean that the police make a priority out of enforcing it.
the problem here is the law, the school policy,and the way that the school admin handled the incident, not the behavior of the police.
i realize that my sarcastic post might not be clear, but i didn't think anyone would misinterpret it as a criticism of the police, who probably have their hands full arresting REAL drug sellers.
on the other hand, a couple of people on this thread have been defending the school policy, the behavior of the admin, and the vaguely worded law.
as quoted, the school policy and the law do not define a "look-alike drug". someone on the thread says it depends on what the person says about the substance. but if i call your sugar "cocaine", does that mean that YOU are committing a felony?
